Best of luck to all manning the pickets today!

ahh but newly qualified teachers can't get jobs now becuase we have to keep those already in the system happy and not touch their pay

People in employment should be sacked to make room for new applicants?

I'd imagine you wouldn't know fourth-level education if it rang your door bell.

Harrangued by a pretend soi disant Liberal on education matters? Shouldnt you be handing out soup and sympathy to pickets somewhere? Or crying into your latte for more understanding and empathy. I ******************** liberals before breakfast.

Doorbells are for peasants.

Things must have changed radically since I was in National School!

Are you telling us that it's not long since you were 12 years old?

and what, pray tell, is your profession?

Market forces. Demand and Supply for your skills dictate most of our pay.

No! Oh God please no. Cut anything you like but spare us that.

Yep - we all headed north this morning - in between picket duty and cooking the dinner.

You speak for yourself, fair enough, honestly - and you might have a different job in the public sector.

But at 9.05 there was no teachers outside the school on my street, they were there at 9.38 and then two hours later they were gone again.

I misread it - thought you had asked what the pay was in his profession!


I blame my school teachers
